So far, a GAB nomination paper tracking report lists the number of valid signatures submitted for only a few candidates, but a separate candidate registration report lists whether candidates have filed nomination papers.

In addition to six Democratic candidates, the latest GAB candidate registration report, posted just after 5 p.m., listed six candidates who have been identified as GOP protest candidates running as Democrats, three “placeholder” Democratic candidates the Dem party indicated it would run in order to ensure a primary, and one independent. The independent candidate was newly listed today, but it was unclear whether he filed nomination papers, and a Democrat listed as running in the 18th SD dropped out of the race in April.

18th SD recall against Sen. Randy Hopper- Democrat Jessica King (Oshkosh): 761- GOP protest candidate John Buckstaff (Oshkosh)- John Curry of Waupun also registered as a Democrat in the 18th SD, but he announced on his website April 18 that he was withdrawing his candidacy.
